I have had really good luck with the 3ware 8xxx cards for some time. A 2
port version can be had for ~$100USD. I have quite a few running 4.x and
now RELENG_5 with great results. You can also pull off the SMART info from
the drives via the smartmontools as well as monitor the status via CLI and
httpd apps.
